Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of coal gasification production, and in particular relates to a compressor waste heat recovery system. Background Art

[0002] In the device that produces methanol by using pulverized coal pressurized gasification technology, the coal gasification device needs to use high-pressure inert gas. High-pressure N2 is used in the initial start-up of the device. After the device is started to the CO2 desorption tower in the low-temperature methanol washing process to produce CO2, it is pressurized by the compressor and sent to the coal gasification device to replace high-pressure N2. The temperature of the high-pressure CO2 gas at the outlet of the CO2 compressor is about 90°C. In actual production, due to the low temperature, the fluidity of the pulverized coal is poor, causing frequent bridging of the pulverized coal bin, large fluctuations in the coal line, and affecting the stable operation of the coal gasification device. To solve this problem, the temperature of the high-pressure CO2 gas must be increased to 130°C. The common solution is to use steam, electricity or high-temperature condensate for heating, but it consumes additional energy and increases production costs. In the process of compressing the gas, part of the mechanical energy of the CO2 compressor is converted into thermal energy, and the gas temperature rises. It is necessary to set a water cooler at the outlet of each section to cool the high-temperature gas before entering the next section of compression. The heat of the high-temperature gas is not utilized, and there is heat waste. Utility Model Content
